My Life Works Today!

Okay, I am amazed that we are already in mid-May.  Thanks to Leslie at  Getting Closer To Myself   for reminding me to get going on calls for submissions.  I will be hosting the next Patients For A Moment (or PFAM) blog carnival and, even though it snuck up on me, I am really eager ...

I am pleased to introduce author and pain archeologist, Sue Ingebretson, as our guest for today.  You may already know her from her website Rebuilding Wellness and/or from her book, FibroWHYalgia . You can also find her on Twitter and Facebook.  She lives with Fibromyalgia and works diligently in creating self-care resources to address the ...

  If you are living with lupus, or know someone who is, you will undoubtedly come across references to it live or via internet.  Over the last three years of MLWT, I have watched the presence of lupus grow to new heights and am grateful to the powerful impact the internet has given to so many ...

I have had the pleasure of meeting and collaborating with some amazing people, including the crew at the Spondylitis Association of America. Although there isn’t an official chapter of the Spondylitis Association of America (SAA) here in Oregon, they do have a strong website and use social media (especially Twitter and Facebook) to connect with patients all ...

Here we are again~ National Lupus Awareness Month.  International Lupus Awareness Day is May 10th.  In Oregon, SB348 (Senate Bill 348 designates May of each year as Lupus Awareness Month and makes May10, 2011, Oregon Lupus Day.) reflects the same awareness calendar, spotlighting lupus on behalf of many of us living with lupus...or does it?   I’ve ...

Here we are in the middle of April and, thankfully here in Oregon, the sun is beginning to give us a little break from the gray and rain.  Boy, will our bones love that, huh?  Even though Spring is in the air, there are still a number of us dealing with a pesky flu bug from Winter.  ...

I am a gardener.  Not a master gardener, by any means, but a gardener nonetheless.  Every spring (most often determined by the calendar than the weather these days), I get busy prepping for the fresh berries and veggies here at my finger tips.  The price to eat well is getting too high for me and I ...

Just a quick note~  Today begins our April MLWT book group discussion on Shelfari.com   and we are featuring Carla Ulbrich’s  How Can You NOT Laugh At A Time Like This? .  In fact, Carla has joined in on Shelfari and will take part in the discussion as well!  I missed out today, but I’ll be starting things up tomorrow ...

I love proverbs~ especially the cut-to-the-chase Irish variety.   I sat and read several on the  Irish Abroad  website, which is where I always seem to end up for anything Irish, while planning out our celebration meal today.  I recognized many of them, having never known where they originated.  I’ve been told I have a little Irish in ...

This was a big week for me and I intend to write about all that is going on in the next few days.  I want to begin with one of those “big” items, though, that has caused some mixed feelings and I appear to be one of the few people with lupus out there voicing ...
